I am using 9.04 and also cannot drag the panels, although I do not really want to. As Alan Lord (news) said in his reply, you can right click, select Properties and choose the location on the screen.
I am also using Firefox 3.0.11 and have not had the problems you describe. I currently have about 50 tabs open. I am using 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04, with 4 GB of RAM. I guess if your PC does not have a fast enough CPU or enough RAM, then it might seem like Firefox is freezing if too many tabs are open, as it cannot process the loading of web pages quick enough. I use Firefox on my Asus Eee PC, which is 1.6 GHz CPU and 1 GB RAM, and it is much slower than on my AMD64 PC. So maybe you just need to be a bit patient, and not have more than 5 tabs open at one time if your PC is old or slow.
